You cannot take for granted the fact that violence against women Violence against Women does not exist in the workspace if an awareness and evaluation process of the context is not made. It is worth doing away with a false sense of security and go deeper into the likelihood of violent acts against women taking place in the company.
A firm that refuses to identify and evaluate a gender-based violence ambiance in its working context is taking away the possibility of freeing the company from gender-based violence, and hence precluding the likelihood of enhancing viability of activities, in this manner affecting the intended objectives and goals.
Gender-based violence can not be regarded as a private affair and as such falling outside the competence of organizations, the truth is that the companies will always withstand the ensuing costs, even if those violent acts take place outside the company’s working space.
An example of this reasoning is that whenever employees are being victimized by their spouses or former partners, such an act is reflected in the rate of absenteeism, absent-minded attendance, tardiness, and rotation of personnel.
Noted should also be that aggressor employees can also use work resources to assault their partners, cause absenteeism from work, tardiness, and increase the percentage of work-related incidents/claims.
As a conclusion, any act of violence against women—whether inside or outside the work context albeit involving the work ambience—affects the organizations’ productivity.
